Registered Veterinary Technician

Jennifer VincentVeterinary Tech School: Western Career College- San Leandro

Jen has always had a love for animals. When she was 7 years old her first cat had to be euthanized because he ate rat poison. She spent 3 days by his bedside trying to nurse him back to health and ever since then she wanted to help animals that were suffering. Jen graduated from Western Career College in 2005 with a degree in Veterinary Technology and has been a Registered Veterinary a little over a year. Jen's passion are birds and exotics. Her particular interests are in dentistry and emergency and critical care medicine. Jen has 2 cats (Hagrid and Frodo), an African Grey (Mo), a green cheeked conure (Skittles) and a ferret (Tipsy). Jen has rescues and fostered several abandoned kittens and is currently working with a recue foundation for parrots. Jen just recently lost her cockatiel (Akuma) and she thanks the staff for being so caring. Jen enjoys going out and doing outdoor activities. She has worked for VCA Lewelling a short time but has found a practice where she can confide with her co-workers and that also practices quality medicine. Jen feels that Lewelling is a practice she can recommend to her friends and family.
